PJM Interview Time!

I finally got some time to work on PJM! There’s still a lot to do, but that’s for when my finals are over. Now, I’d like to focus on writing my personal interview.

But what’s an interview without outsiders questions? Therefore I’m asking you to poke questions at me using the comments below. Be sure to upvote any questions from others you want to know too. The answers will only be featured in the magazine of course, but I will indicate which ones will be in.

In other related news, I’ve been toying with ‘buying’ fake ads. The way this would work is that there will be an art contest on the site where you have to draw fake in-universe ads, and the best ones get featured as an added bonus, filling up the magazine nicely with cool art. Still have to work this one out though, and I will share more details as the magazine moves along.

Now go shoot me some questions!

  1. Hmmm, there are many questions to ask.

    Since joining the PokeJungle staff, what has been your favorite memory and why?

    What is your personal favorite Pokemon game and why? (This can also apply to your favorite Pokemon overall or favorite type)

    If you could go anywhere or do anything for one day, what would you do and why?

  9. My personal questions.
    1: How did you meet Paul and eventually became a staff member.
    2: Favorite PJN memory.

    4: 5 words that describe yourself (sarcastic being one of them).

    6: Am I one of your favorite people in the world or what? 😀

      • If you’re looking for article ideas, I’ve wanted someone to write about Pokémon perpetuating the sex slave industry and/or trivializing it. Yah know, if you wanted to take a more serious route.

        • That’s definitely a topic I’ll look into. I definitely want to write about something that people want to hear, but I keep searching for the “perfect” topic. xD This will be the second article I wrote for round 2, the first one was about Pokemon history and pre-history. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

  15. Just so everyone knows the user VoltSonic was hacked and no he wasn’t the downvoter and he was not the one on the account spamming videos of spongebob. The person that was on the account harassing everyone was a user named Spingebill. What happened to the real VoltSonic he has moved on ever since he was hacked and he wasn’t the one saying all those things and spamming videos in the past week. It would be wise to take extreme caution here since the user Spingebill can try to hack anyone here since he has both gotten VS account both hacked and banned. Take extreme caution everyone.

  41. Hmmm too many questions to ask lol but here’s a couple:

    – If you were to wake up one morning as a Pokemon (like in Mystery Dungeon), which Pokemon would you be?
    – Is there a gaming genre that has yet to be ventured into that you think would suit Pokemon?
    – Which Pokemon game was your first and what was the first Pokemon you ever caught besides your starter?
    – Pokemon Conquest was quite well received by fans of both Pokemon and Nobunaga’s Ambition; are there any other series of games that you think would work well in a crossover title with Pokemon?
    – Which piece of music from the games is your favourite and why?

        • Defeat every Pokemon you find
          Only walk
          Go to the patch of grass that’s shaking most
          the grass has to be 2 squares away.

          Reply
        • 1. Never use the bike/roller skate
          2. Always have plenty of repels (I use super repels b/c they’re more cost efficient)
          3. Never go into a shaking patch that’s right next to another shaking patch (im not so sure about diagonally next to, but I tend to stay away from them just in case)
          4. Don’t go into a patch in the 8 around you when you use the radar (the ones that you can immediately walk into after using it)
          5. Don’t go into patches on the border of the grass (including corners)
          6. Never leave the patch of grass you’re in
          7. Go into the patch of grass that shakes the most (its very noticeable)
          8. Don’t be afraid to reset the radar if you are uncertain about what patch to go into
          9. Upon reaching a chain of 40 (by consecutively killing the same pokemon 40 times, w/o any other kind of pokemon appearing), reset the radar (by walking 50 steps and using it again) until you find a shiny patch (there will be flashes and a noise)
          10. Be VERY careful for this one kind of grass that you can barely see. It will always reset your chain and is extremely hard to see (so always double check that its not next to a good patch)

          that’s pretty much it…if I forgot something i’ll reply to this later

          • I forgot to mention that saving the game does not reset your radar. Resetting the game, however, will reset it.

        2. The entrance to the Victrory Road is next to the first city.

    • Gen 4, Platinum for me its the perfect pokemon game, it was fun the story was great it was a challenge and had a great aftergame and dont let me mention the music by far the best soundtrack in the games and gen4 give opportunity to so many old pokemon by new evolutions yanmega is awesome so does porygon-z, honchkrow, mismagius, dusknoir and more, gen 4 own pokemon itself are great Garchomp is my fave of all time Glaceon is my favorite evolution and Spiritomb is so badass so yes Gen 4 will always be for me my favorite gen

      Reply
    • They’re all great, but I really liked Gen 6! Fairy Type and Megas were a nice addition to the games. The Kalos Pokemon are really cool, Greninja’s probably my favorite starter, both the fossil Pokemon are great, as well as Hawlucha, Pumpkaboo and Phantump!

      Reply
      • I agree they’re all great! Gen 6 was a very nice way to bring together all the generations. And I definitely, definitely agree on the Fossils. Two very nice typings and they’re both unique and great!

        Reply
    • I have to say Gen 5. They added a bunch of new Pokemon which I loved and the story plot was engaging in both BW and BW2. Serperior is my favorite starter from Gen 5 and I just love how they made the sprites come alive and constantly move unlike Gen 4. Pretty sick legends and there was a lot of variety in the gym leaders/elite four. Top 5 pokemon from that Gen would be Mienshao, Volcarona, Hydreigon, Gigalith, and Braviary

      Reply
    • I’d have to go with Gen 5 for sentimental reasons. I went through this time where I conformed to the social norm that “Pokemon is stupid” and all that, not playing for years. I eventually found out about the gen 5 starters, and when I found out that the water type was based on an otter, I came back to the franchise with a lot of excitement (I think otters are so cool). Then I came across PJN looking for the leaked Pokemon list and have been here ever since. I was exposed to Corocoro, Pokemon Sunday/Smash, this site, and so much more I was not aware of during Gen 5 that it has to be my number one. There’s just a lot of sentimental value towards it.

      Reply
    • Gen 3. It had the most colorful and creative pokemon imo and it had an awesome anime. I also loved the region and the music and the whole feeling of the game was so beautiful and relaxed! It makes me so happy when i play it :). And the plot was really good and i loved the gym leaders and the e4. The champion was da bomb diggity. and may and treecko tho >>

      • Steven is a boss and hope he comes back in a (hopefully) remake or in the future gens. I agree how creative the Pokemon were too and the sightseeing was just wonderful 😀

    • Gen III for me. First game I truly got addicted to. Dabbled with friend’s blue. Went bravely through Gold & Crystal. Emerald though, was the Jackpot. Starters were EPIC. The entire gen was mostly new. Wild pokes you found along the way were strategically placed. You had a lot of sea, which I like. Caught all (almost) Legendaries. First generation to include double battles, even had a double battle gym leader. Chamption had unique typings, Steel/Rock for Steven & Water for Wallace. Desert! that was a very, very creative addition. First gen to include areas with Weather. Sandstorms, Sun, Rain all were there. YOU”RE FATHER EXISTS & IS A GYM LEADER! Game was neither too easy nor impossible, though Norman did quite a number on me. Battle frontier was an interesting addition, let you see how tough you’re team really is.

      To sum it up, it was a generation of many firsts:
      First with an almost new lineup of pokes
      Double Battles
      First were all starters are dual typed (fully evolved)
      Battle Tower & Frontier
      Areas with weather
      Desert area (kinda redundant but it was a first)
      Contests & RIbbons
      Two Evil Teams with something other than poison as their preferred type
      First with two Pseudo Legends, Metagross & Salamence
      & I’m sure there’s more
      That’s why I a remake for this gen isn’t a matter of choice, it’s a must

  58. Hello everyone! Requested by popular demand, I will be posting
    a bit of PJN history every Monday (called Memory Monday) for you guys since
    most of you guys are relatively new to the site! Today’s topic will be about
    the P2 cast!

    The P2 cast was named after the P2 laboratory in the Unova
    region, a laboratory built for “unknown research”. The P2 cast was a weekly news roundup in the
    form of a video that summarized news and articles featured that week. It was
    lead by Pokejungle and Ozymandis, and they each filmed the P2 cast every other
    week. For example, PJ recorded every first and third week while Ozy recorded
    every second and fourth week. It was very informative and a very nice
    alternative to those who were not frequent visitors. This sadly did not last
    more than four episodes, as both PJ and Ozy became increasingly busy with work
    and school. It was very cool while it lasted, especially because you could see
    PJ and Ozy in live action instead of through a profile picture.

    I will put a link below if you guys want to see one of the
    P2 episodes. That has been Memory Monday! I’m Chico, and I’ll see you next Monday
    with another Memory Monday! 🙂
